Mississippi State is a beautiful campus. There are so many people who really care about the success of the students, and will go all in helping someone achieve their goals. This school has endless opportunities for students to get involved. The faculty and staff make finding opportunities easy too! They are usually sending out emails all the time of new opportunities to the students in the major that corresponds. I love the atmosphere at this campus. I love how I can walk wherever I need to go on campus without having to drive around because the campus is all together. There are some really great study spaces on campus for students. They also make it easy for students to get away from the noise with study rooms and quiet spaces. The only thing I would suggest the school improve on is advising for classes. Some of the advisors are not as helpful as the rest of the faculty which is weird because they usually are the ones who are supposed to be the most helpful.
With everything that is going on in the world today, from COVID-19 to racial inequality and fighting the broken system, MSU has taken steps to provide their students what the want. In the midst of a pandemic, MS State has been very helpful with keeping all us healthy and safe. And in terms of fighting for BLM movements and social justice, our leaders have gone to the government with efforts to change the state flag of Mississippi, spread awareness of systematic racism and how to fight it, as well as encourage using our first amendment and the right to peaceful protest. I am thankful for the steps State has taken during these times of unrest and change. Go dawgs and Hail State!
The joy of family and a place to create a place to be yourself. Mississippi State University has an awesome industrial program that falls under the school of education. Instructional Technology gives you a multitude of options to enroll in, to meet your career needs. You leave with skills in knowledge in the areas of becoming a teacher, computer systems, workforce development, office systems and the list goes on and on. The advisers are very helpful and provides you support where and when needed. State offers a great variety of programs that really cater to each student. The college is very affordable and offers great scholarships to students. The biology department offers special topics classes so students can take classes they want, and staff that is always there pushing us to do our best. The amount of clubs and organizations on campus is extensive and will allow anyone to find there home. State feels like home and strives every day to be inclusive to everyone.
